The origins of mathematics accompanied the evolution of social systems. Many, many social needs require.
- counting,
- calculations,
- measurement
From practical needs such as these, mathematics was born.
- The worth of a herdsman cannot be known unless some basics facts of counting are known.
- An temple cannot be built unless certain facts about triangles, squares, and volumes are known.
- An inheritance cannot be distributed unless certain facts about division (fractions) are known.
One view is that the core of early mathematics is based upon two simple questions.
- How many?
- How much?

Before I try to write in this blog, I will explain that I,in this myself, not a profesional written. So forgive me that every word I try to write in here don"t look well.
Once upon a time......
We usually use this word to open story which happen in the past, and I will call this as HISTORY. I think the definition of history is phenomenon which happen in the past, it also call our mind about past. In this blog, I will tell about history especially about history of mathematics. So lets start to open our mind and think about past, especially about mathematics in the past of course. As a mathematics student, we must know about this history, we can get important information when we study about history. Lets be happy and interest to study history of mathematics.
